A bowls club will officially open an extension of its pavilion tomorrow (Saturday, November 29), doubling the building's size.

Eastcote Bowling Club has built the £95,000 extension using funding from Hillingdon Council.

Jan Budd, the club's honorary secretary, said it would enable the facility to remain open during the winter months, providing a venue for indoor bowls and social events.

She said: “It will be great for the club because we have a lot of older members – quite a few who are 75-plus – who over the winter tend to hibernate ... so it will be good that there is somewhere for them to meet socially over the winter and have a game of bowls and a cup of tea.”
